2. Add OPDS feature to Drive

   The Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) is an open standard that allows content servers to syndicate their publications, like e-books and comics, in a catalog format. This enables reader applications on devices like iPads and Android tablets to directly browse, download, and sync content from a remote library. I propose that Proton Drive implement OPDS support, allowing users to generate a secure OPDS feed for any specified folder.

   This would function similarly to how many reader apps currently integrate with Dropbox or Google Drive. A user could simply right-click a folder (e.g., "My E-Books"), generate a unique OPDS URL with secure credentials, and plug it into their favorite OPDS-compatible reader app. Implementing this feature would be a significant strategic win. It would immediately close a major functional gap with competitors, making Proton Drive a feature-complete, private alternative for the large community of users who manage digital libraries. This transforms the service from a simple file vault into an active, integrated part of a user's daily life, dramatically increasing ecosystem stickiness.

3. Proton Drive for Business - Organizational Policy to Set File Versioning for All Users

   Proton Drive should support the ability for business users/organization admins to define and set the file versioning setting as a policy rule that is enforced across the organization.

   Example:
   Proton Drive - file versioning history may be set to 365 days for all organization users as a policy

4. Docs: allow on-the-fly translation from Firefox or similar

   Right now, trying to translate a published doc (view mode) using the built-in, privacy-first, Firefox feature, doesn't work. I ignore if this is a Firefox limitation, a structural limitation, or something Proton can work on, but it would be great if such feature, which I use because is run locally and respects privacy, could work.
   I am working on something that at the moment I would like to publish as-is, allowing readers to translate on-the-fly (which is something that local LLM will empower in the near future) but I'm unable to do so.

   Proton Docs HTML exporting disrupts the neat layout of the composer, so it's not a viable option.

5. Open local PDF files on mobile

   The Proton Drive mobile app can open PDF files uploaded within the app. However, it is not registered to open PDF files from within the system (e.g. a PDF file inside the File Manager). Adding this won't be difficult, especially since Proton Drive mobile app can already open these files.

6. Proton Photos

   basically Google photos, but better because it's encrypted.

   As in, a mobile app for backing up and organizing phone photos.

   Maybe we could pay a monthly fee for access to Photos, Drive, and VPN service. I'd much rather support an independent company than Google

   We'll continue working on developing more functionalities to help you protect your most precious memories. Thanks for your continuous support!

7. Require 2FA and password before accessing Proton Drive in Windows Explorer

   I would like the addition of an option in the Settings menu.

   If this option is checked, data 'at rest' in the Proton Drive is encrypted and unusable in a Windows computer by default, on each startup. Only after entering the Proton password and 2FA does the Proton app unlock, decrypt all files and make read/write possible.

   To clarify, it could still sync files while in 'encrypted' mode from the cloud to on-premise, but always encrypted first. And usable upon unlock.

   Then when the user actually wants to do something, they can enter credentials and decrypt their Proton Drive. Kind of like how a TrueCrypt disk would work.

   As mentioned, this should be an 'option' so other users who want to leave their Proton Drive decrypted all the time can still do this.

   The reasoning behind this addition is: it is ridiculously easy to bypass the Windows login screen when on-premise. Someone could login to your computer copy all ProtonDrive files to a USB and then leave, if the ProtonDrive is decrypted by default and accessible in Windows after login - as is the case now.

   This kind of defeats the purpose of having an encrypted local Windows app, hence my suggestion.

   Thanks for reading this far.

8. more space! we should have the option to have 1TB minimum or even up to 4TB.

   500GB is nowhere near sufficient.
   I want the privacy and security proton drive has, but it should really be 1TB at minumim, and we should have the option to add more.
   Way more.

9. Folder info (size, stats)

   In details I'd like to see the number of files and folders inside a chosen folder and it's total size.
   It'd be also cool to be able to see details for a number of selected folders combined, so I could check the info for a few folders placed next to each other.

10. Selective syncing of files for Mac/Linux/Windows

    Actual syncing of files is so important, that I was considering to upgrade my plan today for getting 500GB storage. But then I realized that ProtonDrive doesn't sync files, and that it works with manual upload/download only, so it wouldn't be useful for me, and so I'll wait rather than upgrade now.

    I work with Mac, Linux, and Windows computers, so I need to sync across them.

    Also note that I said "selective syncing". It would be highly desirable that if you have 200GB of files and you start working with a computer you didn't sync yet, this doesn't trigger a 200GB download, but just a download of the files you really need in that moment. I realize that doing this automatically would be technically challenging (specially if you support Mac, Linux, and Windows), because it would require low-level integration with the filesystem, which is a hard thing, but... I tend to believe there could be some manual workaround (like manually limiting the synced folders/files for a computer) that could offer almost the same functionality without a technically difficult solution.

    Selective syncing is not just about avoiding unnecessary huge downloads, but to be able to work in computers whose free disk space is not enough for storing all your files: if you could choose to sync only a part of the folders tree in that limited space computer, it would be perfect.

    By the way, being able to bypass network-based syncing in some situations, by copying the files with a physical hard disk, would be a plus. Just imagine: You get a new laptop, and you want to sync on it your 200GB of files. Rather than doing it with the network, if you have your files in another computer and you can copy them with a physical disk or local network, you would save lots of unnecesary network traffic. Then, after such big copy is done, the new laptop will continue working with network-based syncing as usual.

11. Password protect specific folders if sharing account.

    It would be nice to have the possibility to assign a password to a specific folder. It's a good solution if you e.g. use your Proton Drive with other family members/friends what so ever.

12. Proton Drive API

    It would be amazing to have an API (like https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/about-sdk) to be able to make scripts that could automate uploading important files to ProtonDrive using a language like Python or similar.

13. More storage options

    Please offer an option to upgrade storage capacity without having to upgrade to the Visionary level. I would like more storage but I do not need additional users or addresses or domains.

14. ProtonDrive Bridge

    With ProtonDrive, it would be nice if similar to how ProtonMail establishes a local mail server, if for ProtonDrive the bridge provided a local file server (WebDAV, etc.).

    I'd expect the bridge to handle encryption/decryption and then could easily integrate the drive into any local file manager, etc.

17. File versioning / prompt with options before file overwrite

    Please add this feature to ProtonDrive (tested in WebBrowser). When uploading file to ProtonDrive which is already uploaded (based on path and file name) - enable user select one of three options (probably configurable and/or ask user per file/upload session on file conflict):
    1. Add file with new name (existing functionality which appends (nn) to newly uploaded file name).
    2 Overwrite existing file with newly uploaded one (without possibility to restore overwritten files, or move previous version to Trash).
    3. Add new version to existing file (previous versions can be downloaded via new UI). Enable maximum number/size of file versions to be configured in app/web.
    Third option will be usable in future when desktop synchronization app will be implemented. This will enable to restore previously uploaded versions.
